Survival Mode

Where have I been? In survival mode....I found out that if I took two classes this summer I would be able to start dental hygiene school in January...it sounded like a pretty good idea at the time. Anatomy/physiology and nutrition...no big deal...eight weeks...how bad can it be...BAD! I have made it through the first two weeks, I guess there is no turning back now. My house is just clean enough to function, there is just enough laundary done to get by, and enough food to make a PB&J sandwhich. Luckily the kids have been content playing in forts and swimming at grandma's house while I study. What was I thinking?!

Mother's Day

I remember making coupon books at school for the mom for Mother's Day. This year Makayla brought me a cute bag all decorated with a present inside. Once I started opening it, I realized it was a coupon book....it was like I was coming full circle...I couldn't believe I had a kid old enough to make me one. However, the effect quickly wore off once I opened to the first page.....seriously! In Makayla's defense, she did include a coupon that was good for taking the garbage out ten times, and I plan on cashing them all in.

Science Fair

Evan's school put on a science fair for all the parents. He was so excited to show me all the things he had made. It seriously seems like yesterday that I was in that exact same room with Makayla. she would timidly hold my hand and take take me to each station....Evan on the other hand couldn't contain his excitement. I could barely keep up with him as he bounced around the room.

I am so glad that he loves going to school. I can't believe how much he is changing everyday...I wish I could keep him this little chubby cheeked three year old forever....
